AFC Wimbledon captain Barry Fuller insists that Portsmouth should not have been given a penalty on Saturday, claiming Portsmouth forward Brett Pitman “made a meal of” his challenge in the 38 minute.

In a game-changing moment, the Pompey forward went to ground in the Dons' box after a nudge in the back by Fuller and the referee pointed to the penalty spot.

Pitman stepped up and thumped the penalty home to give the visitors a 1-0 lead, which they then increased not long into the second half.

And while careful to to criticise the officials, Fuller insisted that Portsmouth should never have had the penalty.

“I'm not going to speak too much about it because I don't want to get myself in trouble but i don't think it was a penalty,” Fuller said.

“I think he's made a meal of it and the referee has given it. It's happened and it's changed the game. We have to move on from it. I haven't really seen it again but in my opinion, I don't think it's a penalty.”
